With all the lakes, rivers, and other waterways that Minnesota has, the state is bound to be home to a few islands.

Some are too tiny to inhabit, some are private getaways, and a few are home to beautiful resorts that anyone can visit. That last option is definitely the case for a dreamy island resort hiding on a northern Minnesota lake. Next time you’re in need of a staycation, this beautiful spot makes for the perfect summer getaway without even leaving the state. Take a look:
